DOOR-STRIKE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 702,696, dated June 17, 1902.

Application filed Aprnaieoz. serial No. 101,492. (Numan.)

To a/ZZ whom it Hwy-concern,.- j p Be it known that I, EMIL BOMMER, a citizen of the United States,residing in New York, borough of Brooklyn and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Strikes for Doors, of which the following is a specification.

4This invention relates to an improved strike for the spring-actuateddoors of water-closets in oiflee and public buildin gs,railwaystations,

i hotels, dac., so that the strike can be adjusted tailed iange, in which an elastic cushion is to the different thicknesses of the marble, slate, glass, or other walls to which the same is to be applied, and thereby instead of several sizes only one size ofstrike has to be kept in stock; and the invention consistsof a strike for spring-actuated doors which comprises a box-shaped body of U-shaped cross-section, said body being made of two L-shaped sections guided one on the other, one'section being'provided with an outwardly-bent doveplaced, and with inwardly-bent anges at its upper and lower ends -for guiding the other section, so as topermit its adjustment to the thickness of the wall to which the strike is t be applied. j

The invention consists, further, of certain details of construction and combinations of parts, which will be fully described hereinafter and finally pointed out inthe claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a horizontal section showing the arrangement of the spring-actuated door and ofi its strike on the marble or other walls to which they are applied. Figs. 2 and 3 are respectivelya plan view and a horizontal section of the strike on line 3 3,' Fig. 1l, drawn ona larger scale; and Figs. 4 and 5 are respectively a side elevation and a vertical longitudinal section Aof the strike on line 5 5, Fig. 2.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the body of my improved strike for spring-actuated doors A. The body A is made in box shape and formed of two L-shaped sections a d', the transverse portion of one section, (t, overlapping the transverse portion of the other section, d. The section a is guided in the section a, which is provided at itsupper and lower edges with inwardly-bent flanges or i keepers a2 and with `an outwardly-bent dovetailed flange b, that extends along the entire height of the section a and serves for holding..

the rubber cushion C, against which the door A' strikes when it is moved by itsspringhinges cinto closed position. The box-shaped body A is placed on the marble or other wall and attached thereto by means of bolts D,hav ing washers d d', which are placed belowthe heads of the bolts and below the screw-nuts D', that are applied to the threaded ends of thebolts. The fastening-bolts are made of sufficient length so as to provide for the adj ustment of the L-shaped sections to diferent thicknesses of partitions, the bolts being threaded for a sufficient length thereof to permit the nuts to tightly clamp the strike to dif-` ferent thicknesses of partition, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2. l

In applying the strike to the partition the fastening screw-bolts are rst removed from the box-shaped body A and the L-shaped sections adj usted to the thickness of the partition. VThe box-shaped body A is then placed in position on the partition and the bolts passed through the holes drilled in the partition and the holes in the L-shaped sections of the body A, after which the screw-nuts are applied and screwed up tightly, so that the strike is firmly attached in position on the partition. The dovetailed cushion-holding flange b may be punched` inwardly-at one or more points, `as shown atfin Fig. 3, so as to press into the cushion and retain it firmly against longitudinal displacement-" Having thus described' my invention, I claim as new and desireto secure by Letters Patentf n 1'. A strike for spring-actuated doors, consisting of aboX-shaped bodyvformed of two L- 4shapedV sections, guided one on the other, one

In testimony that I claim lthe foregoing as my invention I have signed my neme in presence of two subscribing Witnesses.

of sid sections being provided with guidefizmges at its upper and lower ends and with an outwardly-bent dovetailed Hnge at its edge, an elastic cushion in said Hnge, transverse fastening-bolts connecting the ends of Witnesses: said sections, and screw-nuts for said bolts,

substantially as set-forth.
